I know people just like you

You'll show up complaining how slow your PC is running, but 8 years ago you skimped on everything when you bought it and probably argued with the salesguy that you dont need more RAM and refuse to spend more than $600 for your PC. So today, you can't upgrade. In 5 years, when all the apps run on Vista and not XP, you'll be whining about having to buy a new PC.

HELLO! THATS THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS!! If you dont want to keep up with whats 'MODERN', then why not but a 286 and run DOS. Compared to DOS, XP is a resource hog. At one point somebody may have suggested to you DOS is better and dont upgrade to Windows because it will use your resources. So, given your 'solution' to the problem, why did you upgrade? If having available resources is your priority, then go install Windows 95 and let the rest of us intelligent, modern users find ways to tweak our OS of choice without comments from the Peanut Gallery. One day when you grow up you will see that avoiding an issue is not a solution. Try your strategy with taxes, speeding tickets, or feeding the kids and you'll see what I mean. AVOIDING THE ISSUE IS NOT A SOLUTION.
